Goodbye South African Post Office?

'Deputy Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies Mondli Gungubele said that the South African Post Office (SAPO) was still staring at "day zero" unless it received R3.8 billion.

The entity's business rescue practitioners also said there were a few options available to prevent the post office from shutting down.' - EWN

Mr Mark Barnes is the right person to take the Post office to the next level He did it before even now he can do more than before my question is why the Government don't appoint him it means they want to close it permanently why

[sabinekoch]

It is really unbelievable that our post offices simply do not function. It is an essential service to the millions of South Africans. Please put Mark Barnes in charge.

SA will appear as the 1st country without the Post office 😢 just imagine am very hurt 😔 let Mr Barnes take over

[maputlebathoengmokone]

It's Pravin legacy which he is proud of

Business rescue did nothing to post office, you cant retrench 4700 workers and fail to pay their pension fund and outstanding contribution to save the entity we are now jobless without anything in our pockets, I witness good leader to safe the entity and thats Mark Barnes.

It’s so unfortunate that an entity this important to the country (for more than just posting/receiving documents and parcels) has collapsed.

A few years ago, Dep Pres Cyril Ramaphosa was put in charge of the SA Post Office, citing his extensive business experience. During his year in charge, SAPO lost R 1.4 billion.

Where we are going to get our money from post offices savings
if close down

[CometMpengula]

To me it looks the people at the helmet of the Post Office did not have a clue about what they were doing.Not to pay the pension deductions to the service provider is fraud some one should be made accountable for that.Imagine pension money for 3 years and now they are only going to be paid 12c per rand .Thats day light robbery.

Sassa social grants paid their....stamps still get used.... biggest issue with SA post ..it run by government.... political party....and those members of the party can't ....make.... the post office generate the multiple millions they ...the party want....not like airlines... Eskom.. which have had many many many billions in bail outs...Eskom and SAA..has become a billion rand cash cow for corrupt politicians hiding behind the sence of Eskom and SAA..and the many others.SOE.s..

ANC needs to increase VAT to 30 percent there is not enough tax money to pay for all the corruption in government.

[jacknirahu]

Get Mark Barnes tobtake over, give him Carte Blanche operational management responsibilities and see the difference. The cluless clowns that are there now, are still on a train....they have no idea what they are doing

[PhumzaQwemesha]

Cash shortages were not paid by the employees even bank deposits were made short by big amounts like R4000 and not paid financial statements which are supposed to be.kept for five years are no kept that IA why the post office has collapsed
